It is a complete shock to me how damaging these gun-paranoid people are to our children! Do they think there are no guns where this kid lives? Do they think this will help him be a better and more productive citizen? No, they don't. They are just responding in a way media brainwashed sheople do. Unthinkingly. Emotionally. Teacher should be fired. The student should be given a gun safety course. With an interest in guns and being surrounded by stupid sheople is a recipe for an accident.

The teacher only reported the incident, apparently because the school has a rule to report anything like that, and not reporting it would put him/her in trouble. That rule, and the decision to suspend was made not by the teacher. But before you decide that it's those people who did should be fired etc., consider that they did it, most likely, as the response to the demands of noone else but the parents; maybe even _these_ particular parents.
